is

around 50 kms from Solapur The Naldurg fort is
famous for its waterfall

called the Nar and Madi meaning
Male and Female,When there is good

rainfall the
waterfall overflows and the area is picturesque

The
fort though its fortifications is impressive and the
fort contains some fabulous examples of early
Indo-Islamic architecture, it is practically unheard of,
even in Maharashtra, or in the surrounding states, which
have no shortage of spectacular forts or forgotten
histories. Originally, it was called Yeral, and belonged
to the Bahmani Sultans, who established a Turkic-Persian
Shia Muslim kingdom in South India in the 14th and 15th
centuries, long before the Mughal empire came to being.
It became a part of the Mughal empire, and was later
incorporated into the dominions of the Nizams of
Hyderabad. The Nizams were vassals of the Mughals who
declared independence at some point. In the early 20th
century, the Nizam was reputed to be the richest man on
earth. While the fort is no stranger to action over its
long and complicated history, its last known strategic
use was in 1947 when the Government of India forcibly
and controversially occupied the princely state of
Hyderabad, using the excuse that overwhelming majority
of his subjects were Hindu, when the Nizam refused to
accede to the Indian Union or join Pakistan, and
declared Independence.
